Wheelset found in Sunset Lake
(Mountain Lakes, NJ)
John Grossmann, the Mountain
Lakes Historic Preservation Committee Chairman has reached out to us to see if
any of our members might be able to provide more information about this
artifact. Please let us know if you can provide any guesses or insight.
The assembly was recovered near
the shore of Sunset Lake by the boat dock on the portion of the lake that's
closest to The Boulevard, the main street in Mountain Lakes. It's along The
Boulevard, on what's now a walking-biking path, that the Trolley tracks formerly
ran.
Inside distance 40"
(guage)
Outside distance
50"
Note the flanges on the outside
of the wheels.
Might this be from one of the
trolleys that ran from Denville to Boonton along the Boulevard?
Possibly part of a boat/marine
launching railway or plane?
Please Let us know if you can
provide any information. Photos of the wheel set may be see on our Facebook
